Pep. Dekkers et al., The metalloproteinase inhibitor GI5402 inhibits endotoxin-induced soluble CD27 and CD16 release in healthy humans, INFEC IMMUN, 68(5), 2000, pp. 3036-3039
Metalloproteinases have been implicated in the cleavage of a number of cell
surface immune receptors. Oral administration of the metalloproteinase inh
ibitor GI5402 attenuated the release of soluble CD27 and CD16 into the circ
ulation after intravenous endotoxin injection in healthy humans.
